The Last Week
God told me that you and I are going on a journey together. He warned me that it might be scary at times, and it might hurt, but He said He would never leave us alone. He told me that He created both of us so we could make the journey together; He gave both of us some powerful substances called hormones. Your hormones are more powerful than mine, because you're bigger, but together we have enough for both of us. He said our hormones work like rocket fuel to take us through birth together. Just you and me, mom! We'll still be able to hear other people, but at the end of our journey it will be just you, me, and God. He also said not to worry, he will give you enough endorphins (natural pain killers) for both of us, so we can do what we need to do.

A Few Days Before Birth
Imagine that it has been approximately nine months since you were conceived. Ideally, your arms and legs are now crossed and folded tightly in front of your body and your spine rests up against the left side of the womb. Your bum is curled forward and pushed up against the very top of your home and your neck is tucked so far forward that your chin touches your chest. Your head is now snuggled against your mother's cervix making it difficult to turn and look around. Your mom's continual hugging makes it difficult to move any part of your body. Your skin feels tingly as she squeezes you. It feels like the mountain, clouds, and inchworm are hugging you so tight they are forcing you to drop down as far as you can go. The bottom of your home is beginning to stretch-decreasing the pressure on your head.
